I purchased a Classic Prius (hybrid-electric, fuel-efficient,
super-ultra-low-emission vehicle) back on 9/9/2000 and drove it in Minnesota
until I replaced it on 10/23/2003 with an Iconic Prius (which was even cleaner and
more efficient). Then on 5/26/2009, I upgraded to a 2010 Prius (for
amazing efficiency). Following that on 2/29/2012, I got my first plug-in
model (pushing MPG significantly higher). The big upgrade happened
4/01/2017, when I replaced the PHV with a Prime, trading 11 miles of EV driving
for 25. Then finally on 3/30/2023, I upgraded to my first electric-only
vehicle, an AWD
bZ4X. The great driving experience continues, after
so much time... |
